This is hands down my favorite Monet painting and one of my most favorite paintings in general, so I had to paint it in my own style. I wanted to see if I stuck to his colors but painted in my style if I would still like it, and I do. So it is more about the value and colors as to why I like it and not the very loose style that makes it hard to tell that clouds ...

So, I have been on this Bob Ross style painting, but I cannot help my self but to put figures in my paintings. I feel like it tells a better story. Scenery tells no story. After I finished this painting, I thought, hey, this is a perfect setting for my Symbolism Figure Collection, so I used it for that as well.
